Evertype is pleased to announce the publication of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles, in English and with a separate translation into Cornish by Nicholas Williams.

Sherlock Holmes appeared for the first time in A Study in Scarlet in the year 1887. The stories about Sherlock Holmes became so popular that after a while Conan Doyle believed they were drawing attention away from his other writings. He killed off Sherlock Holmes in the story "The Final Problem", but his readers demanded that the detective should be resurrected. The Hound of the Baskervilles is a story of a monstrous dog that terrifies Sir Charles Baskerville, a Devonshire landowner, to death. Many of the local people believe that it is not an earthly animal, but rather a supernatural hell-hound. Sherlock Holmes is able to establish the real nature of the hound and to ensure that Henry Baskerville, Sir Charles's nephew and heir is not harmed by it. Many commentators consider that The Hound of the Baskervilles is the best of the Sherlock Holmes stories, and this is apparently the first time that any of the stories has appeared in Cornish.
